    Knowing that I missed it and living with it

    I was not there when my Lonny died either...I was mad, and so disappointed in life for taking that away from me. I had envisioned myself holding his hand and comforting him and letting him know it was ok to leave. I knew time was short for him, but circumstances arose and I had to leave the...
